Long

In the frosty winter, the elongated model of the coat simply saves. It is worth considering that for girls who prefer to drive their own car, this model is better not to choose, because it is not entirely convenient in this regard.

With astrakhan collar

What to wear

When selecting the perfect combination with astrakhan coat, one should take into account that astrakhan fur is a rich and sturdy fur and other things must be appropriate.

The classic model of a bag of matte leather or suede will be the perfect complement to the astrakhan image. It is worth considering that pick up a handbag under the color of the shoes now completely optional.
